Nigerian singer Spyro has once again spoken out on issues affecting the country, expressing concern over what he describes as a lack of urgency surrounding the abduction of teachers and students in Oyo State.
In a strongly worded statement, the singer lamented that despite the seriousness of the incident, public attention appears to have moved on, with political activities and endorsements continuing as normal while the affected families remain in distress.
Spyro questioned why some politicians and celebrities are still actively involved in campaigns and public displays of political support when, according to him, there are pressing humanitarian issues that deserve greater attention.
The singer was particularly critical of celebrities backing President Bola Tinubu, arguing that compassion for citizens facing hardship and insecurity should come before political affiliations or personal gains.
He also used the opportunity to remind public figures that wealth, fame, and influence are not permanent, stressing that life can change unexpectedly regardless of status or success.
He said …
“It’s the first of June and there’s still no news about the teachers and children that were abduct£d, and it’s just business as usual in Nigeria, politicians are still campaigning and some fuuls called celebrities are still campaigning, some of them have children and I can’t seem to understand where their empathy lies, it’s about about the money and their luxury cars! You’re a nobody, you’re dust, a s!ckness can come today and take away everything you think you have as a celebrity…”
His comments add to the growing number of voices within the entertainment industry calling for greater attention to security concerns and the welfare of citizens affected by violence and abductions across the country.
